And 1, g,ows not old forever, sweet and young II Is
It's ne Land q Little People, whore the happy
And tho things they know and SEQ there are so

Things that wiser folks andolder can not know nor

Bee the palaces OF cloudland, aud tho mcrmen In

For the Laad OF Little People Is another world

And our own dark world grows brighter, and we
